Broadwater County lies in central Montana.
The Big Belt Mountains and the Helena National
Forest run along the eastern border, and another
part of the Helena National Forest lies along
the western boundary. The Missouri River and
Canyon Ferry Lake reach from the southern to
the northern borders. Aside from the
mountainous landscape, the terrain is chiefly
rolling foothills.
